Free download, free features and free trial are different

The App Store's download price describes the initial download. It does not, by itself, tell you whether an account is required, whether a feature has a weekly limit, or whether a trial becomes a paid subscription.

  • Free feature: check whether it remains available without a trial or payment.
  • Free allowance: check the limit and when it resets.
  • Free trial: read the price, renewal date and cancellation terms before starting.
  • Plan access: check whether an employer or health plan is required.

How Niva Free Basics works

Niva Pregnancy Tracker and Wellness is our iPhone app. Free Basics includes weekly allowances for food logging, recipes, swaps, care-visit questions and wellness sessions. Niva Plus is optional and removes those weekly limits. See the Niva free-plan guide for the allowances and what happens without a trial.

When checked, the US App Store listed Niva Plus at $6.99 monthly or $39.99 annually. Eligible accounts may see a seven-day trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled; check the current offer and terms in the App Store.

Questions to ask before starting a trial

  1. Which features can I use without a subscription?
  2. Does the trial require a payment method, and when does it renew?
  3. What will I be charged after the trial and how do I cancel?
  4. Can I keep or export my notes if I stop paying?

We could not confirm every app's answers from the listings. Read the current terms before agreeing to a trial.

Check privacy before you share

Pregnancy dates, symptoms and food logs can be personal. Read the app's privacy notice and App Store privacy information, and look for how to access, export or delete your data. A listing alone does not tell you which app is most private.

Free does not mean medical care

Use app information for education and preparation. A clinician can answer questions that depend on your pregnancy and health history.

How we checked

We read the linked US App Store descriptions on November 8, 2026 and summarized features the publishers describe. We did not download or test the other apps, verify every paywall or audit their privacy practices. Check the current listing and the app's own terms before deciding.
